Thanks, this is a giant step forward for me. xpdf will now get the version
I need
built, albeit with the mangled names.
The xpdf-tools port is going to be nearly useless in the current state,
though.
So many important ports depend at least indirectly on poppler that
almost no one will be able to install xpdf-tools. That's why I suggested
that xpdf-tools conflict only with poppler-tools, which also will only
create symlinks to its own set of mangled names.
